So the previous gear thread had me wondering...I have lots of gear combos/helmets that are either new or used once and I was wondering if anybody could suggest a place to donate the stuff I do not choose to sell?

Post it for free/shipping. Many people have Moto man caves or use it as decoration. Nows the time to get the 05-15 gear that is out of style now but is inexpensive.


One of our local tracks has a stash of gear incase someone forgets something. Mostly kids stuff and young kids (aka thin people) but still cool none the less.

Any gear donated could help new riders to be properly dressed but helmets could be a liability issue if used and older. But great thought to help people out.

In my opinion the way he did it here with that fly set seems like a good way to do it in my opinion. most people on here are pretty into the sport.

Use your helmets as trophies. Too much liability if you even give them away.

Used helmets are a touchy subject. I've asked about where to donate them before, everyone said the same thing, "Don't do it, cut the strap off, use them for art" etc. My son took 4 old (in decent shape) ones to Rosarito and handed them out to some kids on bmx bikes. They we're stoked and had them on before he left. Old helmets are better than no helmets, just not here in this lawsuit happy country

Spot on, unless it's a rebuild-able 6D Wink

I have found guys at work with growing kids who need gear and pass it on to them. I couldn't believe how pumped the kids were to get new(used) gear and goggles but then I remember to when I was little and I would have been pumped as well.

I've been collecting gear and shipping it to my friends in the Philippines. They have a really cool mx scene over there and some pretty fast riders as well, lot's of guys there that can really use it. Please PM me if you have any gear left to donate.
